Could you spare an hour to help?

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Kumeu

Could you spare an hour a week to help a man in his 30s with a disability. He is a capable guy, who just needs a little bit of support and advice to keep things on track.

He loves rugby, tramping, movies and all things mechanical. He is friendly and engaging and leads a busy life with a full time job and a partner. He is looking for someone who can check in with him each week, help him problem solve any issues that come up and help him realise when he has got things under control.

The support would have to be in the evenings or weekends when he isn't working, but we can be pretty flexible about when. The compensation is generous for the right person and if that might be you then we would really love to chat.

If you are interested please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message
Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
